SEARCH ON FOR ELUSIVE WOLVERINES IN OREGON CASCADES : GRANTS PASS (AP) -- Oregon wildlife biologists are heading into the Cascades next month to set out dozens of automatic trail cameras in hopes of capturing a photo of a wolverine.

Tim Hiller of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Thursday they hope to develop information that will help federal authorities decide whether to list wolverines under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Oregon has listed them as threatened since 1987.

The last known wolverine in the high Cascades in Oregon was shot by a hunter in 1963 on Three-Fingered Jack. But three were photographed last year in the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the northeastern corner of the state.

Cameras baited with road-killed deer will be set out in the Mount Jefferson, Mount Washington, and Three Sisters wilderness areas.

COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST GROUPS TRYING TO OVERTURN GAY MARRIAGE LAW: OLYMPIA (AP) -- A Seattle woman has filed a complaint with the Washington state Public Disclosure Commission against two groups seeking to overturn the state's gay marriage law.

A lawyer for Sandra Turner Fukumoto filed the complaint against Preserve Marriage Washington and the National Organization for Marriage on Wednesday. She alleges both groups have not properly reported their finances. Frank Schubert, the national political director for NOM and campaign manager for Preserve Washington, says they are in full compliance with the law.

Referendum 74 forces a vote on the law passed earlier this year allowing same-sex marriage in the state. That law is on hold pending a November vote. Preserve Marriage Washington has raised nearly $382,000 in opposition to the law. Washington United for Marriage, which supports gay marriage, has raised $5.8 million.

Public Disclosure Commission officials will review the complaint to determine whether they want to pursue it further. NO FINE YET FOR GETTING TOO CLOSE TO PUGET SOUND ORCAS: SEATTLE (AP) -- A boater who was caught by the Coast Guard too close to Puget Sound killer whales on Wednesday won't be penalized, but next summer violators could be fined thousands of dollars.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is working with the Coast Guard and the Washington Fish and Wildlife Department to educate boaters about a 2011 requirement to stay at least 200 yards away from orcas, spokesman Brian Gorman said. Previously it was just a guideline.

"Our intention is to depend on education and warning rather than coming on like gangbusters," Gorman said.

They'll make a decision before next summer's boating season on issuing fines, Gorman said. Civil penalties under the Marine Mammal Protection Act could reach $11,000, and fines under the Endangered Species Act could be as high as $32,500, Gorman said.

On Wednesday a Coast Guard cutter from Port Angeles witnessed a 25-foot pleasure boat remaining within 200 yards of whales near Orcas Island. The boaters were told they were too close.

Most violators are kayakers or pleasure boaters. Organized whale watching boats are aware of the rules and realize violating them would be bad for business, Gorman said.

Encroaching boats can cause stress or prevent orcas from feeding.

The Puget Sound orcas, known as the southern resident population, were declared an endangered species in 2005. Counting a calf spotted in May, there are 88 whales in three pods called J, K and L.
